  • UEFA EURO 2012™ in the Polish Sociopolitical Narration
    PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT. STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.1515/pcssr-2015-0025 UEFA EURO 2012™ in the Polish Sociopolitical Narration Authors’ contribution: Tomasz Michaluk A-E, Krzysztof Pezdek A-E A) conception and design of the study University School of Physical Education in Wrocław, Poland B) acquisition of data C) analysis and interpretation of data D) manuscript preparation E) obtaining funding ABSTRACT Sport constitutes an increasingly popular language of discourse in modern societies, providing a (formal) system of signs, which is easily used by, among others, businesses, media, public persons, and, particularly willingly, politicians. Thus, sport as a system of meanings can transfer any values, being at the same time a pragmatic way of arguing in the practice of social life. An example we analyze, are the events that took place after Poland (and Ukraine) had been chosen to be host countries of UEFA EURO 2012™, as well as those which took place during the tournament itself. In these analyses, we use the concept of semiotics and, in particular, pragmatism as well as Charles Sanders Peirce’s triadic sign relation. KEYWORDS UEFA EURO 2012, sport, values, semiotics, Peirce Introduction In free and democratic Poland, member of the European Union since 2004, a tournament of the size and importance of the European Championship was organized for the first time in 2012. In April 2007, UEFA 1 chose Poland and Ukraine (non-EU member) as host countries of UEFA EURO 2012™. This measurably influenced a whole body of political, economic, and social processes that took place within the country. After five years of preparation, the tournament took place in June 2012 in sports facilities the majority of which were built or renovated especially for this purpose; and the final match was played in the stadium in Kiev, Ukraine, on 1 July 2012.

Social Media Events Abstract Audiences are at the heart of every media event. They provide legitimation, revenue and content and yet, very few studies systematically engage with their roles from a communication perspective. This dissertation strives to fill precisely this gap in knowledge by asking how do social media audiences participate in global events? What factors motivate and shape their participation? What cultural differences emerge in content creation and how can we use the perspectives of global audiences to better understand media events and vice versa? To answer these questions, this dissertation takes a social-constructivist perspective and a multiple-method case study approach rooted in discourse analysis. It explores the ways in which global audiences are imagined and invited to participate in media events. Furthermore, it investigates how and why audiences actually make use of that invitation via an analytical framework I elaborate called architectures of participation (O’Reilly, 2004). This dissertation inverts the predominant top-down scholarly gaze upon media events – a genre of perpetual social importance – to present a much needed bottom-up intervention in media events literature. It also provides a more nuanced understanding of what it means to be a member of ‘the audience’ in a social media age, and further advances Dayan and Katz’ (1992) foundational media events theory.

Abstract Sport video gamers, as a huge population, have been studied descriptively in terms of the demographic and motivation for playing. Yet most studies paid attention to the relationship between gamers and the video game. A gap remains between sport video gaming and its effects on gamers’ attitude toward the exact sport they are playing in the game. Through the Elaboration Likelihood Model lens, the current study aimed to examine the effects of sport video gaming on gamers’ confidence in the sport as well as desire to play the sport. A pretest-posttest experimental design was conducted to investigate the causality between gaming and confidence and desire change. As the first application of ELM to sport video game, the current study incorporated the classic route shift pattern in persuasion to predict the improvement of gamers’ confidence and desire after game playing.

  • Brand Positioning Through Celebrity Endorsement - a Review Contribution to Brand Literature
    International Review of Management and Marketing Vol. 4, No. 4, 2014, pp.259-275 ISSN: 2146-4405 www.econjournals.com Brand Positioning Through Celebrity Endorsement - A Review Contribution to Brand Literature Abdullah Malik Pondicherry University, Kalapet, 605014, Puducherry, India. Email: [email protected] Bushan D. Sudhakar Pondicherry University, Kalapet, 605014, Puducherry, India. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The use of celebrities in marketing communications has become the practice of the major companies in the emplacement of the brand in the mind of consumers. Firms are making vast investments in hiring celebrities for positioning of brands by making organizations with endorser qualities such as trustworthiness, attractiveness and expertise. In the backdrop, this paper seeks to explore the variables of brand positioning through sports celebrity endorsement. Secondly, to propose the model through merging the sport celebrity endorsement constructs with brand positioning constructs by drawing together and to develop the scale for measuring brand positioning through celebrity endorsement based on existing literature. Keywords: Brand Positioning; Celebrity Endorsement; Purchase Intention. JEL Classifications: M31; M37; M39 1. Introduction Companies are making use of celebrity endorsers widely for market communication and huge investments to align their brands and themselves with endorsers (Erdogan, 1999; Jyothi and Rajkumar, 2005). Such endorsers are seen as dynamic in terms of attractiveness and appealing qualities (Atkin and Block 1983). Celebrities serve not only to create and maintain attention, but likewise to achieve high recall for the stigma because of their fame in a todays’ highly cluttered environment of marketing communication messages (Kamen et al. 1975; Friedman and Friedman, 1979; Ohanian, 1991; Croft, et al 1996; O’Mahony and Meenaghan, 1997).
